About the clinic
The founder and director of the clinic, Dr. Argon Lumiani, reflected the clinic's philosophy in its very name. The word "alta" comes from Latin and means "high". Indeed, the priority of this medical facility is to provide services of the highest quality.
ALTA Klinik specializes in all kinds of radiological examinations with the use of computer and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as therapeutic radiology. The prostate gland is a special focus. Patients can benefit from such modern, high-tech methods as multiparametric MRI of the prostate, transgluteal MRI-guided targeted biopsy of suspicious areas in the prostate (where samples are collected with the help of a hollow needle inserted into the gluteal muscle rather than via rectum).
As early as in 2009, the facility started the application of classical HIFU therapy for the treatment of prostate diseases. Since then, organ-preserving therapy has been performed at ALTA Klinik on a weekly basis. And in March 2017, Dr. Lumiani performed the world's first focal therapy for localized prostate cancer using the TULSA-PRO method under MRI monitoring. Dr. Lumiani and his team are also the first center in the world to use TULSA-PRO therapy specifically to reduce the volume of the prostate.
In addition to non-surgical techniques and holmium laser enucleation, traditional TURP and prostatectomy with the DaVinci robotic system are also offered for the treatment of prostate conditions.
The variety of techniques available at the clinic ensures the greatest objectivity in determining the method of treatment and benefits of obtaining a second opinion concerning decisions about treatment strategies for benign and malignant prostate lesions.

Radiology exams are very important for clinical decision making. With teleradiology, the accuracy of interpretation of such data can be improved by bringing in a third-party expert for primary or secondary evaluation. Practice shows that such "remote" radiology has obvious advantages, but some nuances must be taken into account if you want to get the best results. In fact, the effectiveness of a second opinion depends not only on the technical quality, but also on the completeness of medical data provided in addition to the images.

For a long time, surgical resection was the standard way to remove overgrown prostate tissue. In recent years, a number of new methods have been developed with a much lower risk of unpleasant complications.

Assessing the nature, localization and extent of a lesion is of paramount importance in lung diagnosis. These questions are the domain of radiology. X-rays and CT scans are commonly used, but in recent years physicians have become increasingly aware of the diagnostic potential of MRI of the lungs and bronchi.

Making the heart visible in all its functions and structures in order to detect diseases as early as possible is the main diagnostic task in cardiology. Until relatively recently, the only solution was catheterization, an invasive procedure that involves certain stresses and risks.

Reviews
Dimitar
I had a very good experience consulting ALTA Clinic about my prostate problem. At first, it seemed kind of unusual that a radiology center expertise had expertise in this area. But I decided to try, and never regretted it. Their doctor explained very clearly what the best option was, it sounded very objective and expert-like. Now I am considering an in-person appointment to discuss the recommended procedure.
